Our finances are fine, if it costs the several hundred dollars mentioned up thread.
Aha. Thanks.
Are there any naysayers to the suggestion?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
But remind me to make a new money-requesting post Sunday or Monday, if I haven't. I think my last one was over the weekend, and response was minimal.

I'm sure I'm not the only person who just got an email from People's Forum... How is this possible?
I've pledged to continue running the site (for no pay) as long as members continue to be willing to pay for the cost of hosting it (presently $224/month), and so far they have done just that. In fact, PF has been entirely member-supported for almost 4 years now!
How are we getting off so cheap if PF costs $224 a month??

I quickly unsubbed my self off that list.
I suspect that Lance Brown isn't, maybe, the most hard-deal-driving savvy businessman out there.
And maybe we just got lucky.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
$224 is probably managed hosting, where somebody is else paid to manage the server. I'm saying probably as I've no clue of the situation, but $224 is ball park for a very decent spec server with fully managed hosting from a big company. From my experience, I paid on average (over the last few years) $70 a month for the UK and US Serenity sites, with registered user numbers at the low 5 figures. I've got it down to $50 nowadays by ditching some of the really old content and moving back to shared hoting.

Anyone come up with a fix for the posting box position on IE in the css version of the board? I'm stumped.

Try changing #postmessage as follows:
#postmessage { MARGIN: 1em auto; WIDTH: 505px; TEXT-ALIGN: left }
Works for me in Firefox 2, IE 7, and Opera 9, all in Windows XP.
